A few years before this, a team of doctors at the Addenbrookes Hospital at Cambridge had a male patient who check in the hospital due to severe headaches. After a few tests, he came back, complaining of new symptoms. As he said, he visited Thailand, South Korea, Japan and China recently, the last one with the most reported cases of a parasite known as Spirometra erinaceieuropaei. One of his symptom, besides the severe headaches, were seizures and weakness, all caused by this parasite. The patient was diagnosed with sparganosis infections, caused by tapeworm larvae plerocercoid diphyllobothroid. The doctors managed to surgically remove the worm, because no drug worked effectively.
